Shared Reading

We are getting into a groove with our new reading series.  Tomorrow we will be finishing up our four week unit about families.  It has been fun learning all about different families and things they enjoy to do together.  During our shared reading block, we sometimes break out into smaller groups.  The kids read as a group, independently, and with a partner. They are reading books at their instructional level.  The great thing about the books they are reading is all the books go along with the big unit theme.  They have worked so well together in their small groups. This week they have been working on setting and finding nouns in their book. As you read at home, have your child describe the setting of their story.  Challenge them to identify 3-4 nouns in the book they read.  Take a look at these hard working students!
